Autumn, 1937. Against the Imperial Army's objections, Lt. Colonel Yuuki
establishes the spy training group "D-Agency." The army sends Liuetenant Sakuma to serve as their liason to D-Agency, and he watches the applicants easily coast through the brutal examination process. Not long after, Sakuma is ordered by Colonel Mutou to search the home of a suspected American spy, the Japanophile John Gordon. Disguised as military police, Sakuma leads D-Agency on their first mission.
prays before the emperor's portrait 
morning and night, and lives as a Japanophile.
ويضمّ يديه لبعضهما أمام صورة الإمبراطور 
.ليلاً ونهارًا، ويعيش كمحبّ لليابان
und entbietet dem Bild des Kaisers
den Gruß, wie ein Japaner.
allant jusqu’à saluer le portrait
de l’Empereur chaque matin.
saluta il ritratto dell'Imperatore ogni mattina
e ogni sera, una vita da giapponofilo.
